Over on Silver Lake Boulevard, the
perennially chic L&E Oyster Bar is always
packed — and with good reason. The menu
is loaded with upscale comfort food such as
fried oyster po’boys with shaved fennel,
lettuce and gribiche and a side of fries.
They’ve recently added an upstairs bar.
But the new place making noise in the
neighbourhood isn’t a slick hipster haunt,
but Heywood, a ‘gourmet’ grilled cheese
shop. With oferings such as triple cream
brie and fg jam melted onto walnut fg
bread, plus added protein, gluten-free and
vegan cheese options, this place has locals
(and tourists) lining up for a bite well into
the wee hours of the morning.
BUY
Although the Junction area of Sunset is
known for having some of the hottest
boutiques in LA, hitting up the retail
strip on Silver Lake Boulevard is also a
must — if only to experience the joy of
shopping at L Bazaar. The retail space is
connected to Lamill and ofers pricey
pretties such as Marc Jacobs outfts or
Chloe shoes for baby and Missoni towels
and perfumed candles for yourself.
Next door is Yolk, a cute one-stop shop
for all things home decor, from ‘101 uses for
quinoa’-style cookbooks to funky Swedish
polypropylene cofee jugs.
Back over on Sunset, revel in your youth
at Origami Vinyl (and be sure to take kids
so you have a ready audience for your
talk about how good music used to be).
Origami sells nothing but records, which
is surprising in itself, but Vacation Vinyl
down the road goes one better and ofers an
array of cassette tapes, now considered the
latest collector items for music fans. Not
dissimilar to visiting a museum, really.
STAY
Silver Lake is located six kilometres from
Downtown LA and, remarkably, doesn’t
have any hotels to call its own. So set up
camp at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel at
California Plaza atop historic Bunker Hill,
and not only are you minutes from Silver
Lake, you’re also within walking distance of
the city’s jewellery and fashion district.
